About this map

The Brazos River carves a winding path through this part of Fort Bend County, defining a landscape shaped by both petroleum extraction and suburban expansion in the early 21st century. The Thompsons Oil Field and the adjacent Humble Camp point to the area's industrial legacy, while the development of Sienna Plantation in the northeast corner illustrates the transition of historic land tracts into modern residential communities.

South of the town of Thompsons, a complex network of waterways including Rabbs Bayou, Cottonwood Bayou, and Cow Bayou crisscross the low-lying terrain. Local history is reflected in landmarks like the Booker T Washington School and small named localities such as Rabbs Ridge. The presence of numerous lakes and reservoirs, including Smithers Lake, Sawmill Lake, and Turner Lake, underscores the water-managed nature of this coastal prairie region.
